Can Hospitals Save Costs Without Compromising Patient Outcomes?

For hospitals to offer high-level services, they must integrate the latest knowledge and technologies. Additionally, physicians and surgeons continuously strive for a better patient outcome. To remain competitive under these conditions, hospitals must also keep expenditure low. Olympus supports hospitals and surgeons in this balancing act.

Olympus is committed to developing technologies that increase intraoperative flexibility and streamline workflows.

Olympus offers a versatile energy platform that supports surgical teams in delivering a broad range of laparoscopic and open surgical procedures.

One Energy Platform. All Surgical Teams. Multiple Benefits.

Olympus offers a smart surgical energy system that covers different medical specialties and technologies for open, laparoscopic, and endoscopic surgeries. One single generator platform facilitates the combination of all common kinds of energy, such as advanced bipolar and ultrasonic energy.

This system gives surgeons across multiple fields more versatility in many electrosurgical procedures and for almost all surgical energy needs.

THUNDERBEAT - Hybrid Technology for Open and Laparoscopic Surgery

THUNDERBEAT is the first highly versatile instrument that integrates ultrasonic energy, for rapid tissue cutting and improved dissecting, and advanced bipolar energy for quick, secure, and reliable vessel sealing.

The tip of the THUNDERBEAT instrument allows surgeons to grasp, manipulate, and bluntly dissect tissue without having to switch instruments each time. This potentially increases intraoperative flexibility, allowing for a higher caseload.
